Working compiler?
Hi,
I've got this nice 600MHZ Alpha that's got plenty of CPU cycles to
burn when I'm not home, so I'd like to do automated compiles of
unpresent packages or outdated ones. However, to do this, a gcc that
correctly supports -O2 is required. So far, for the about 20 packages
I've ported over, I've manually had to hack the source to use -O
because -O2 generates unreliable code (breaks networking in Tcl, for
instance). So the question is: how close are we to having a decent
compiler?
One of the powerpc folks pointed out that our egcs is rather outdated
compared to theirs (which apparently tracks CVS). Somebody here
suggested an older version of egcs. I don't care which, just so long
as we get SOMETHING that works :-)
Thanks,
John
